    '02 Jetta, rebuilt 01m (<2k), 215k total... I haven't driven much since the rebuild, but had the TDI out Saturday.

    Which RB, CD, Book, or both?

    Ok, I know this was sorta covered a couple years ago, but I'd like to see a new verdict. The RB book is out for the 2k2's, so I will buy one. The CD isn't close to press, but should I buy it as well, when it becomes available?

    2k2 Jetta -- Dealer experience & Initial impressions

    I'm starting this thread to publicly eat crow! I was so sure my dealer was blowing smoke, when he gave me a 6 week timetable, that I had been gearing up to thoroughly abuse him. I'm happy to report he deserves just the opposite! from: "My car is in production 2k2 Golf GLS TDI!!"...
